At Nepal school, outpouring of grief for climber Nirmal Purja

Nirmal Purja, a British-Nepali climber, died in an avalanche on Pakistan’s Broad Peak, prompting tributes and mourning at his former school in Nepal’s Chitwan district. The school remembered him as a fearless and disciplined student who later achieved global acclaim for scaling 14 highest peaks in six months and leading an all-Nepali team on K2’s first winter ascent.
